Hello! Yes! Finally, people who think somewhat how I think. It's funny take wal-mart for instance....everywhere you turn wal-mart this and wal-mart that. It goes the same for other companies but since this can of worms has been opened by someone other than myself it is time for me to rant a bit. How many of you are average workers? How many of you buy groceries at a grocery store that doesn't start with the name Wal? Most of us do at one time or another. It is coming to the point where a big store comes in the area who sells everything *except trains... their loss* and taking away consumers from already established stores in the area here is a prime example: One summer Wal-mart decided to build a super store in a mid sized town with two already established grocery stores. So they build it andhave their grand opening. With in six months one of the stores is closing its doors can not compete....and in this coming spring the other will be closing its stores. This means jobs will be lost and the area I am in jpbs are becoming more and more scarce by the day! Now we have or will have two closed stores combined employed well over 500 people. Now these 500 employees now have to spend time to find new jobs which around here could take awhile and that is time when no money is coming and so they do not have the funds to even go to wal-mart and shop! No job, no money, means no shopping at wal-mart so not only did wal-mart get rid of their competition they also got rid of any new potential customers to shop at their store. I call this shooting themselves in their own foot. Plus, if this keeps up with these kinds of companies it is going to come to the point where no one will be shopping Cause 1.) No Job, 2.) No Income and 3.) Prices are to high, and the reasons for the prices becoming high is because the volume of the consumers is going way down and instead of slashing prices so people can afford to buy stuff they raise them so they can still meet their quota of profits for that quarter. I fore see a big economic flat line sad to say the rich become richer and the poor become poorer there is no middle ground and that is sad.
